The Wrap & Missile cards will regularly clog your hand whilst you hunt for non-elite minions but play Magneto against Ultron and enjoy the resulting circus. He might be too fast for the buildup he needs even though he does build super fast. Pulling all those magnetic cards is so much fun but the cape is his one must-have card
Haha, I’ll have to take him against Ultron. Haven’t tried that yet. Feels like it makes sense, though! He SHOULD absolutely wipe the floor with a villain made of metal!
He will always be Erik Lehnsherr to me. That "Max Eisenhardt" shit is garbage and a late-game retcon. You expect me to believe he chose to go by Erik Lehnsherr in EVERY SINGLE ALTERNATE TIMELINE AND REALITY? You expect me to believe he lied to his wife, Rogue, in Age of Apocalypse? No, it's bullshit. I also prefer him to be Polish. How often do we get Polish represenation? He is Erik.
Oh, really? I don’t actually know most of this stuff off hand. I mostly read marvel.fandom.com/wiki/Marvel_Database and bounce around on Marvel Unlimited, so it’s sometimes hard for me to get an idea of when something was added to a story.
@@thegrouchynerd The Max stuff was something that came out in a Magneto one shot series well into the 2000s. There was some debate over whether the name was "Jewish" enough, so they came up with the new persona and declared him German instead of Polish. I always thought this was odd, as no one questions if a black person can have the last name Jackson or Brown or Washington. Before this, the character (which came out in 1963), was Erik for over 40 years. The problem is, there is ZERO explanation of how this retcon is supposed to work. Charles has read his mind a million times, even in private psychic sessions, but never called him Max? His family never called him? No villain has ever called him on it? Mister Sinister and Apocalypse even recognized him as Erik. It was so heavy handed and forced, and now other X-Men just casually refer to him as "Max". It just doesn't make any sense except some editor made this call a while back and now we are stuck it. I for one am very glad Marvel Champions recognized his Alter Ego as Erik Lehsnherr. Granted, I made my own custom card variant of the card, but STILL!
So I'm getting this vid and dale doing a playthrough of mags on the same day? What a day!
Haha, happy to contribute to a good day!
Feels like we waited forever for this! Love your hero reviews! Keep it up!
That holiday season really messed up my schedule! Thanks for your patience!
Great video as always! magneto seems really fun.
Thanks! He is!
Been waiting for this one! Great vid as always
Thanks! Sorry to keep you waiting!
@ no worries, it’s always worth the wait!!
I think your puns are neato! Excellent video, Grouchy. I hope you're doing well.
Haha, thank you! I appreciate it. And I am! Hope you are, too!
I made a Children of the Atom deck using Star-Lord, Mutant Mayhem, and Blaze of Glory (Star-Lord gives them Guardian as well). It was VERY good.
Oooooh, I want to know more about that! Do you have a full deck list?

Oooof. Well now I hate it. Glad FFG ignored it, too!
